Slightly agree

Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence

Disagree

No, freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government

While the CSU values freedom of speech, especially in the context of criticizing government policies, its broader commitment to social order and the protection of individual dignity means it would likely view this statement as too narrow, preferring a more balanced approach that also considers the harm caused by hate speech.

Disagree

Yes, because I don’t trust the government to define the boundaries of hate speech

Given the CSU's position within the German political landscape and its support for the rule of law, it is unlikely to distrust government regulation of hate speech. The party would probably argue that a responsible government should define and enforce boundaries to protect citizens from hate speech.
